Disabling preloading or enabling memory cache adapter

[davidgm0]

Hi, in the past I ended up disabling preloading because it was taking too long to load, similar to what https://www.flippercloud.io/docs/optimization mentions. I was using redis cache adapter at the time. Now I'm wondering if it'd make more sense to use the memory adapter + enabling preloading. Only that I haven't used the memory adapter before, so I'm not sure how reliable is it. Is there a reason not do use the memory adapter as cache?

Hey sorry I missed this.

I'd use the active support cache adapter with memory if you want cache. Memory is more for storage in process for tests and such.

I do this on one of my apps:

FLIPPER_SHARED_CACHE = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new

Flipper.configure do |config|
  config.adapter do
    Flipper::Adapters::ActiveSupportCacheStore.new(
      Flipper::Adapters::ActiveRecord.new,
      FLIPPER_SHARED_CACHE,
      10.seconds
    )
  end
end

That makes it so the memory cache is shared per process across all threads. The memory adapter is thread safe by default.
